25YXH470MEFCT810X16

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most common types of passive components used in modern electrical and electronic designs. The 25YXH470MEFCT810X16 is an example of an alum-elect capacitor, which is widely used in a variety of applications.

The 25YXH470MEFCT810X16 is a high-performance aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance value of 470μF and a rated voltage of 16V. It has a ripple current rating of 4700mA and a lifetime of up to 10000 hours. It is constructed with an anodic aluminum oxide layer sandwiched between the two aluminum plates and wound with a special non-inductive winding.

The 25YXH470MEFCT810X16 is best suited for general-purpose applications, such as signal line conditioning, data-line noise suppression, video circuitry, power supply/regulator input/output filtering, and even higher-power application such as power factor correction, switching power supplies, and switching mode converters. It is also useful for high-frequency filters, smoothing circuits, peak power reserves, and many other applications.

The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is based on the principle of electrolysis. When a positive charge is applied to the anode of the capacitor, oxygen ions are released, creating a thin oxide layer on the anode. The oxide layer acts as a dielectric, separating the anode and the cathode, thereby creating a storage area for electric charge between the two plates. A current flows from the anode to the cathode, allowing electrons to travel from the anode to the cathode. This flow of electrons creates an electrical field between the two plates, allowing them to store a charge. When the applied voltage is removed, the electrons flow back to the anode, returning the charge to its original state.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are highly reliable and efficient compared to their ceramic counterparts. They have very low leakage current, excellent pulse response, and very high energy density. Furthermore, they are highly resistant to extreme temperatures, making them suitable for both industrial and consumer electronics applications.
